Yep.

also "Horse with no Name".

Which, btw , contains one of my favorite ridiculous lyrics of all-time: "The heat was hot..."

I actually had a huge argument over that line in the mid 70s with a couple of friends...I maintained that in and of itself, the line was so absurd as to instantly classify them as lame, while they suggested Hunter wrote similar lines (I strongly begged to differ, and still do...).

Nonetheless, I have never forgotten that line...though I might not be so hard on the friends today...
